Imported private vehicles allowed into Gaza

Israel will facilitate the transfer of private cars into the Gaza Strip on Monday for the first time since Hamas’s rise to power in 2007, the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) announced on Sunday.
The cars will be transferred via the Erez Crossing and will go to the private sector, COGAT said in a statement.
The decision to allow cars into Gaza is part of Israeli government policy to ease up restrictions on the type of merchandise and goods allowed into the Gaza Strip.
